29 Faces - Face 18 - The Trout Pout

As you can see by the number of this face and the date I'm still running a bit behind with these 29 Faces but nevertheless am enjoying the process immensely. Certainly learning a lot along the way.Face 18 - The Trout Pout - perhaps a homage to certain popular poses on Facebook. *Preparing to leg it shortly after I post this!*

Again, starting out with a textured background I already had in my sketchbook, I painted an Acrylic base, outlined in HB pencil and went to town with the oil pastels.

What did I learn with this one? It's really hard to get any detail in oil pastel over such a textured base.

This gave me a good laugh. I've never heard the term before, but it's just right for your mad face here. I was wondering how you had painted it so well on that lovely textured background - and then you said it was difficult. Well, you managed to achieve a success with this.

I love the way you are experimenting with all these portraits. You use a lovely coloring pallet and I love your Zombie!! You have made some great faces; hope you manage to get all 29 faces done. Perhaps another series of six ? (clever daughter).I have finished my 29 faces, so I now have some time to visit all the participants of the challenge :-)Have a great sunday!xxx Marianne MW
